People like you who want to turn js off are a very small niche. And you have better solutions. Run your browser in a remote server using rdp or vnc. I think it may be equally safe and you may actually have a larger chunk of web working for you.
I get that some people would like that because they think all those things belong in native apps, but that’s not where the “modern web” is today.
If we didn't complain about Flash, we still would have Flash applets.
Yesterday there was however people that were saying, "that's how it is, deal with it" or "But, but... Without it we can't have this and that" or "The ship has sailed, get over it".
Today, we have reasons to complain about JS. Yes, it enhances interactivity, but it also abused. There's a lot of unwanted interactivity (the type of one-way interactivity that lets a server know more than necessary about their clients).
